--SAVING FAITH / A New-Changed Person, in Christ~
---(Please Read/ John 1:12-13)

--Belief in Jesus is the core of Christianity. Now let’s look at some implications of that saving faith.

Knowledge of who Jesus is and what He did must be accompanied by confidence that the facts are true and apply to us. First, it’s important to realize, I have broken God’s law—that makes me a sinner. All of us are born with a nature that rebels against the Lord. Second, we acknowledge that none of our efforts can earn His favor. Third, we agree that Jesus died for each of us. He paid for all our sins, no matter how terrible they are in the world’s eyes.

Next, we believe that Jesus’ death is sufficient payment for our wrongdoing; nothing else is needed. We must accept that He paid our penalty and endured the Father’s wrath in our place.
Finally, we accept by faith that we’ve been adopted into God’s family on the basis of Christ’s atoning death. The invitation is for all humanity, but not everyone has true conviction. Too many people see these facts as “information” rather than life-altering truths.

star Once we are convinced that Jesus is our Savior, trust is demonstrated through action. As a “new creature” (2 Cor. 5:17), we each are no longer who we once were, and there are different values and priorities for us to embrace. Jesus, our Lord, has authority over our life, and He alone deserves to be our top priority. He knows what pleases the Father and has sent His Spirit to live in us and teach us.

Take time to examine yourself for evidence of knowledge, conviction, and trust. If one area is lacking, ask God to help you come to true saving faith.
--IN TOUCH~

[**Friends, there are too many religions in this world and until we accept that Jesus Christ wants a 'personal relationship' with each one of us, we are not saved. Jesus is alive today. He defeated death by dying on the Cross and rising from the dead. He is now seated at the right hand of God the Father in Heaven interceeding for each one of us.
He will return to gather His believers and take us to live eternally with Him soon. We see the 'signs of the times' all around us. The Apostle John recorded all of this in Revelation. Jesus said in Revelation 22:7, "Behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book."

"Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the churches, I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star. Yes, I am coming quickly."
--(Revelation 22:12,13,16,20).

God can not lie. He is the Creator of the entire universe. (Titus 1:3)
"We are saved by grace through faith and that not of ourselves it is a gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." -(Ephesians 2:8-9]
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)]
